5 INSTALL CEILING BRACKET
The ceiling bracket must be installed when the duct
cover is used to span 24
″ or more height above the
hood. The bracket will hold the decorative duct cover
in place at the top.
Note:
The ceiling bracket is not required when using
only the 12
″ section of the duct cover.
• Install the 2 small screws into the sides of the duct
bracket. Remove the screws. Pre-tapping the holes
will insure ease of final installation.
• Match center notch on the bracket to the centerline
on the wall and flush against the ceiling.
• Mark the 2 screw hole locations.
• Drill 1/8
″ pilot holes in marked bracket location.
• If pilot holes do not enter studs, enlarge the holes to
3/8
″ and install wall fastener anchors.
• Secure the bracket to the rear wall with wood screws
and washers. Use wall anchors if needed.
6 CONNECT DUCTWORK
• Push duct over the end of the transition until it
reaches the stop tabs.
• Install ductwork, making connections in direction of
airflow as illustrated.
• Secure joints in ductwork with sheetmetal screws.
• Wrap all duct joints with duct tape for an airtight
seal.
• Use duct tape to seal the flange connection.
CAUTION:
Do not use sheet metal
screws at the hood flange connection. Doing so
will prevent proper damper operations. Seal
connection with tape only.
